I am trying to create the URL in order to access the EDIT and DELETE views directly from the post detail instead of typing it in the browser.
I am having trouble finding the right url pattern and template {% url %} code since there is a slug.
posts.urls
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', post_list, name='list'),
url(r'^create/$', post_create),
url(r'^(?P<slug>[\w-]+)/$', post_detail, name='detail'),
url(r'^(?P<slug>[\w-]+)/edit/$', post_update, name='update'),
url(r'^(?P<slug>[\w-]+)/delete/$', post_delete, name='delete'),
post_detail.html
{% block content %}
<div class='col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3'>
{% if instance.image %}
<img src='{{ instance.image.url }}' class='img-responsive' />
{% endif %}
<h1>
{{ title }}
<small>
{% if instance.draft %}
<span style='color:red;'>Draft</span>
{% endif %}{{ instance.publish }}
<div class=''>
Edit |
Delete
</div>
</small>
</h1>
You need to pass the slug into the url tag in the html.
Try something like this,
Edit
Delete

I am trying to use Django's class based authentication views and am getting the following error when attempting to access the login view:
NoReverseMatch at /account/login/
Reverse for 'register' not found. 'register' is not a valid view function or pattern name.
Error during template rendering
In template /Users/justin/Desktop/Programming/Python/django_book/social/website/account/templates/base.html, error at line 0
All authentication templates are stored at account/templates/registration/ and dashboard.html is stored at account/templates/account/, here is the code:

I am following the book 'Django 2 By Example' and at this point I believe I have directly copy and pasted the code from here (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Django-2-by-Example/tree/master/Chapter04) to try and fix this error, but I am still getting. I should note that I am using Django 3.2.6 and am not sure if this is causing it. Thanks for any help with this.
created a simple search in the Django blog but it's not working. why search bar is not working in a blog web app ? its nothing to search in the search bar when searching something in the search box.

There is a typo in your code. In template you are using allposts(all lower case) where you are passing allPosts from context, ie: params = {'allPosts': allPosts}. So you need to change either one of them, like change in context:
params = {'allposts': allPosts}
And one improvement suggestion, replace href="/blog/{{post.slug}}" in the template with href="{% url 'url_name' %}". More information can be found in url tag documentation.
when I submit my Email form from PasswordResetView page the email appears via URL as following: http://127.0.0.1:8000/account/password-change/?email=medoabdin%40gmail.com and not directing me to PasswordResetDoneView page and I get no error.

Put method="post" in form tag and also {% csrf_token %}, probably because of GET method same view is rendering and form_valid is not invoking.
I am using Django version 2.
I am working on a blog web app using PostgreSQL database.
I am trying to add a search feature to the web app but when I open the url (http://localhost:8000/search/) to make a search, I get the error below.
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://localhost:8000/search/
Raised by: blog.views.post_detail
No Post matches the given query.
here is the blog/urls.py
from django.contrib.postgres.search import SearchVector
from .forms import CommentForm, SearchForm
from .models import Post, Comment
from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404

path('<slug:post>/', views.post_detail, name='post_detail'),
path('<int:post_id>/share', views.post_share, name='share'),
path('search/', views.post_search, name='post_search'),
]
here is the views.py
def post_detail(request, post):
post = get_object_or_404(Post, slug=post)
comments = post.comments.filter(active=True)
new_comment = None
if request.method == 'POST':

else:

return render(request, 'search.html',

Here are the templates files.

This is probably for one of the strange reason search is here actually matches with slug:post. One of easiest solution for your problem is to re-order urls and make sure /search place before. Like following
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.PostListView.as_view(), name='home'),
path('search/', views.post_search, name='post_search'),
path('<slug:post>/', views.post_detail, name='post_detail'),
path('<int:post_id>/share', views.post_share, name='share')
]
My suggestion for further developement whenever its need to add slug in url we need to make sure there is some prefix before it.
I was really confused why I was receiving Http404 error. To be more clear heres my code:
My app named books
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.http import Http404
from django.template import RequestContext
from books.models import *
def index(request):
title = 'Book Gallery'
books = Book.objects.all().order_by('-id')
lang_list = Lang.objects.all().order_by('-lang')
template = 'books/index.djhtml'
context = {'books': books, 'title': title, 'lang_list': lang_list}
return render_to_response( template, context, context_instance=RequestContext(request) )
def by_book_slug(request, bookslug):
slug = bookslug
try:
book = Book.objects.get(slug=slug)
except:
raise Http404
title = book.name
template = 'books/singlebook.djhtml'
context = {'book': book, 'title': title}
return render_to_response( template, context, context_instance=RequestContext(request) )
def by_lang_slug(request, langslug):
filter = langslug
try:
language = Lang.objects.get(slug=filter)
except:
raise Http404
lang_list = Lang.objects.all().order_by('-lang')
books = Book.objects.filter(lang=language).order_by('-id')
title = language
template = 'books/by_language.djhtml'
context = {'books': books, 'title': title, 'filter': filter, 'lang_list': lang_list}
return render_to_response( template, context, context_instance=RequestContext(request) )
urls.py inside my book app folder
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from books import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'(?P<langslug>.*)/$', views.by_lang_slug, name='by_lang'),
url(r'(?P<bookslug>.*)/$', views.by_book_slug, name='by_book'),
url(r'^$', views.index, name='book_gallery'),
)
link that pertains to langslug url conf works but those links for bookslug url conf does not work. When I try to switch them down and up, one of them work and the other one is not.
I really don't know what is happening here. Any help will be a great help. Thanks.

I have included a raise Http404 method when specified slug does not match to any query in the database. The thing I was confused about is, when I try to switch langslug and bookslug urlconf, links that are associated to one of these url works and the other is not.
Based on your url, if I put value on it even though they have different view, the result would be:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# http://localhost:8000/English/
url(r'(?P<langslug>.*)/$', views.by_lang_slug, name='by_lang'),
# http://localhost:8000/YourBook/
url(r'(?P<bookslug>.*)/$', views.by_book_slug, name='by_book'),
# http://localhost:8000/
url(r'^$', views.index, name='book_gallery'),
)
Have you notice it, they have the same pattern so the first view execute is the by_lang_slug. So if you change the order the other one will be executed first. The best thing to do about it is to have a unique url name.
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# http://localhost:8000/lang/English/
url(r'lang/(?P<langslug>.*)/$', views.by_lang_slug, name='by_lang'),
# http://localhost:8000/book/YourBook/
url(r'book/(?P<bookslug>.*)/$', views.by_book_slug, name='by_book'),
# http://localhost:8000/
url(r'^$', views.index, name='book_gallery'),
)
Now they are different....
